This is starting to seem pathetic.
Having apparently exhausted opportunities for friendship in the U.S. and Britain, Paris Hilton is already making plans to find a stranger willing to become her best friend forever—or at least until the cameras stop rolling.
The current installment of the show—in which she tells E! Online's Watch With Kristin that she will be a stricter judge of friend material—premieres today on MTV.
If that doesn't pan out, Variety reports the next iteration of Paris Hilton's My New BFF will land the Hollywood celebutante in the United Arab Emirate of Dubai. Hilton and BFN (Boyfriend for Now) Doug Reinhardt will spend 17 days getting to know the culture, the mores and the lucky ladies vying to befriend Paris before she heads back to Los Angeles to make the final choice.
Unlike previous installments, this round will not feature alcohol, bad language or skanky outfits. So it could just be watchable.
